a break from college is good for anyone - i always thought that i'd be able to march right on through - not possible at all. On a semester break of sorts right now - and its helped alot. the key is to try to go back.

I didn't realize how many people had April birthdays here. I turned 22 on April 20th.

I finish my internship at MTV next week, and I can't wait because I'm sick of working for free and it's costing me a fortune.

I graduate in about a month. I have a TON of work to do in the next month that I'm not sure if I can get it all done. I'm not looking foward to editing the movie I made...so much work and I'm afraid it's not going to be as good as it should be. No job lined up, but I'll be working on that soon (I hope to god I can find one in a reasonable amount of time). I'm planning a trip to florida some time in June and I just found out my parents are going away for about 4 days for July 4th :).

I'll order the Reloaded tickets for me and my friends by the end of tonight. I can't fucking wait.

I met a girl a few weeks ago and she turned into a complete and disgusting mess right in front of me. I never thought I would meet a canadite for an HBO special...

Just bought Swingerz Golf for Gamecube...not too shabby.

I'm so excited and scared of graduating college, I've never felt like this before in my life.

Its definitely possible... all of my friends who have graduated have done it... while not a single one who took a break for any length of time finished. I think its WAY harder to finish school after you take a break than if you just slog on through. M Im not trying to sound like a stuck up asshole (I do that enough in other threads), but in all likelihood you're gonna pick the "not at all" option.

Yeah, heh well trust me its crossed my mind several times before - but I'm making myself go back and try to plow through it - this is my final break (the current semester - which isn't even a break cause I'm still taking one class) - and from here on out its full time all the time. Argh - can't wait. Heh.

btw rumpy - are you going to try to get a real gig at MTV? That'd be pretty cool imo - even if they are the enemy. How'd you get that internship?

From what I've heard, taking a break is one of the hardest things to bounce back from. One of my good friends graduated last semester...she just turned 25.

I forgot to mention that I recieved the latest Maxim and if you turn to page 145, you can see my future wife. And I just started playing Amplitude...lots of fun, but I get weird looks when I play it. Anyone play Pro Race Driver?

It pains me to see that some of y'all are sad. Yet, it brings me joy to be back at TNL after my long absence...

Updates in the life of Zerodash:

- I have yet to find another white-collar job, so I now work at a coffee company making 1/3 of my old income- so much for college.

- I am still waiting to be accepted into grad school

- I have yet to find me a new girlfriend. Turns out my personality sucks. Given that I am no longer making big $$, I can't exploit the "gold digger" in many (most) women. However, my ex wants me back, and is willing to dole out lots of sex in return- not that I am gonna commit so reckless an act...

- I just started learning Shaolin Long Fist. RADICALLY different from any other style I know.

- My JKD teaching certification is less than a year away- woo hoo!

- I have moved back to Toms River, NJ with my folks until I find a more sustainable job.

- My Genesis library is COMPLETE! I need only 33 more games to complete my library of Pre-2000 games!

- Getting broadband in 2 weeks, X-Box live soon after.

- My website nears completion- stay tuned.

I don't do a blessed thing other than go to class, eat food, play a shooter or two, watch DVDs, and use my computer all day long. Every day. I'm content.

Maybe I'll get out more when the sun comes out of hiding. The women round these parts ditch the layers faster than a cowboy un-holsters his six-shooter.

I want to go somewhere far away and wander the countryside [Asia or New Zealand] with one of those bundles on a stick, a pair of mocassins, and a camera, though. So it goes.

You and me both - I've sworn to myself that once I finish college I'm going to go off and visit some places in Europe - hopefully I can get some people to come with me but if not I'll do it alone - its something that I think I'm going to owe myself - heh I'm already in preparation by watching and reading anything the old boy Rick Steves puts out. I'd be nice just for a little bit to wander the countryside of some strange land like you said (it would be the real life equivalent of wandering the overworld in an RPG) - then coming across a small town, and taking refugee in an inn or a hostle - fuck yeah. What ever happened to the concept of adventure? I guess its all "extreme sports" now.... blargh.

Are you speaking for both heads or just one?
